AFC Champions League Elite
Islamic Republic of Iran's Tractor ended Matchday Five third in the West Zone standings with 11 points, four ahead of sixth-placed Al Duhail of Qatar.
Having opened their campaign with two draws, a three-match winning run means Tractor are within touching distance of the Round of 16 and they will aim to maximise home ground advantage against Al Duhail.
Defensive resilience has been the back bone of their campaign, with Tractor having kept four clean sheets but they are winless in their last two meetings with Al Duhail.

#ACLElite - Preview: Matchday 6 (West)
Al Duhail kept their hopes alive with a stunning 4-2 win against Saudi Arabia's Al Ittihad Club on Matchday Five but will face a stiff test against a confident Tractor.
Their away form on the continent has been poor, with three defeats in their last four matches and walking away empty handed will leave them in a perilous position.
